Oklahoma Bad Drug Lawsuits & Oklahoma Defective Medical Device Cases

The advancements in medical technology and pharmaceutical sciences have made significant changes in treating patients who once suffered diseases without a cure, or lost the ability to remain active and mobile. While these products often save lives, they have conversely caused serious harm, adverse reactions, side effects and premature death. The warnings and recalls by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and manufacturers often come too late.

These large corporate giants often pressure the FDA and rush their products to the marketplace to begin generating profits, often at the expense of the consumer. These products that were designed to treat illnesses instead cause serious medical problems for the patient and sometimes the unborn child.

Without proper and effective warnings, doctors recommend that their patients take bad drugs or use defective medical devices that produce life-changing negative outcomes. Typically, the victims are left with no other choice than to file in Oklahoma defective medical device case, wrongful death lawsuit, medical malpractice claim, or Oklahoma bad drug lawsuit against hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers.

State of Oklahoma Statute of Limitations

Even though victims and surviving families have the legal right to seek financial recompense by filing a lawsuit against every defendant, the Oklahoma statute of limitations restricts the amount of time a claim can be filed. This includes a claim involving negligence, product liability, intentional tort, wrongful death, personal injury and medical malpractice.

If the victim or their surviving family member fails to follow the rules by filing all the necessary paperwork in the appropriate courthouse before the expiration of the statute of limitations, they forgo the opportunity to seek financial recompense anytime in the future.

Personal Injury / Negligence – 2 Years

Product Liability – 2 Years

Wrongful Death – 2 Years

Medical Malpractice – 2 Years “with Discovery Rule. In the case of a minor under 12, the parent or guardian must bring suit on behalf of the minor within seven years after the malpractice. If the minor was injured at age 12 or older, he or she has one year after turning 18 to file suit. In no event, may such a minor file suit less than two years after the date of the act giving rise to the injury occurred.”
